I love country music...I decided I don't care anymore if people think only hicks, saps, and wierdos listen to country music. I'm officially addicted, you have to try it...go on a drive on your own while the sun is about to go down during the summertime with the windows rolled down in your car...I guarantee it'll put a smile on your face. Of course you have to turn the volume up and you can't turn it down when someone stops next to you at the stoplights...singing along really loud helps too. I wish I could see more people singing along to their music, I always get embarrassed but why? I used to do the same thing in high school with the Mormon Rap and I turned out okay. Who really cares, at least you aren't picking your nose and wiping it under the seat.

Of course I love most music, and lots of music makes me feel lots of different ways...but country has a special place in my heart- same thing with Bob Marley. I got re-addicted as I drove through Tennessee and Kentucky, it just feels right around here. I think about all my favorite places to go, and favorite places to eat, and the best ones involve country themes (neon lights, old beat up signs, trucks). No wonder I married a girl from Vernal. The other day while eating lunch in my truck (I like to get out of the office without using gas), a guy came outside with a John Deere baseball cap and pulled a bail of hay out of the trunk of his car and set it on the ground. Then he pulled out his lunch and sat on the bail of hay to eat it...his lunch not the hay. Put another smile on my face.

I drove around town today. Went to Churchill Downs (Kentucky Derby), U of Louisville, walked around downtown, and went to the Louisville Slugger Bat museum. All the Rocky movies were on all day too...you could say it was a pretty good day.

Thanks to everyone who called, I love talking to you all so feel free to pick up the phone anytime. I would do the same but sometimes when you are the one who is alone and bored, other people aren't and don't want to talk. Joni gets here Thursday which also happens to be our 4 year anniversary, can't wait to see her. Joni got bit by a wierd bug and her foot ended up swelling pretty bad. Of course she had to get on the plane so she didn't have time to go to the doctor. To make a long story short, she went to the emergency room after getting off the plane because it got really bad. Its gone down quite a bit, but she still managed to keep a sense of humor about it. She sent me a picture of her foot while swollen, and she made an indented smiley face on it that wouldn't go away. She is okay, but yet another thing to put a smile on my face.

Joni is bringing the camera so hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures next week. Have a great week everyone.
